[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 83037, member: 3704"] Kjs, I think saving a sample of difficult child's work for the doctor is a wonderful idea. It will be worth a thousand words... When you describe your difficult child, you really could be describing our difficult child at that age. He had an incredible way of infuriating and alienating all of his teachers - usually within weeks of beginning their classes. They, and the school ,just didn't know what to do with him. I realize now that difficult child's Aspie behaviors were really causing all of the problems. He was basically saying exactly what he thought when he thought it - this meant blurting out inappropriate things at inappropriate times. He truly doesn't do this to be mean or disrespectful - he just only knows how to be truthful and to be himself. The thoughts in his mind are the only ones that count to him. This all really came to head when his English teacher (I'm still not really clear exactly why he did this) specially asked difficult child to give his opinion on the class experiment that he (the teacher had done). Basically in the experiment the teacher had chosen to respond with positive responses to blue eyed students and negative responses to brown eyed students. This was done as an intro to a lesson on discrimination . For some reason this teacher asked difficult child what he thought of this after he revealed what he had been doing to the class. difficult child had his feelings hurt when the teacher had responded to him negatively (difficult child has brown eyes) and difficult child said, "I think it stinks and I didn't learn anything at all".

He also made a few choice statments to difficult child along the way - I was never really told what they were.
